I know our life is so hard right now and not at all what we dreamed it would be like when we first said I do. Back then we thought we'd be living this picture perfect life, the fairy tale kind. We would have a kid or 2 by now (which we do) and we would be living the American dream. Dinners as a family at the dining room table every night at 5:30......reading bedtime stories together to our little angels......both climbing into the same bed exhausted....and falling asleep knowing that all is right in the world because we are together.
But as we have learned over the course of our lives together that life isn't a fairy tale. And it doesn't always go how you dream it will. There are times when we aren't sure how we are going to make it...how we are going to hold it together and survive whatever storm we might be in. Times where the future isn't completely clear and we honestly have no idea where we are going to end up. Times of frustration, anger, hurt, sadness, uncertainty, fear, anxiety.....
And while I know there has been and will continue to be those dark times in our lives together here on this earth, I'm so extremely grateful and happy that when I look over I see you by my side. Because I know that no matter what gets thrown at us, that we will make it through. That our love will survive. And while this sounds corny and cheesy, I know it to be 100% true. With Christ at the center of our marriage, as long as we continue to look to Him for guidance in every circumstance, we will become stronger and a tighter unit through everything that life places in front of us.
And just because I don't say the words enough my handsome guy: You are kind. You are thoughtful. You are strong. You continue to amaze me with each passing minute. I am so thankful for each and everything you do no matter how tired you are to make sure my life is easier. The way you love our daughter is priceless and makes my heart soar. I feel completely safe whenever you are near. You provide for our family in more ways than you even know.....
The fact that you chose me to be your girl for the rest of our lives still makes me giddy with excitement. You are my guy and I will always continue to thank the sweet Lord for bringing you into my life. Thank you for being you. Remember that, no matter what my face and voice might say sometimes, these words are the truth of my heart and they my dear will never ever ever change...
Love,
Your one and only
